I'll be updating the forum this weekend. I'm going to shoot for saturday morning. While it's updating, which shouldn't take long, it will be out of service. So if you come by saturday morning and the forum's not working, don't fret. It's just getting an upgrade

The forum update is complete. The mods & theme are incompatible with the new version, but the new version has coolness, so I updated anyway. Once I get a new theme I'll install it.
